Goodbye Net Neutrality; Hello Competition
At long last, with the end of “net neutrality,” competition could soon come to the industry that delivers Internet services to you. You might be able to pick among a range of packages, some minimalist and some maximalist, depending on how you use the service. Or you could choose a package that charges based only on what you consume, rather than sharing fees with everyone else.
Saying people have a right to health care is based on a conceptual confusion.

Dare to DREAM? Congress Shouldn’t Let Dreamers Shut Down Budget
It happens so often, it almost seems normal. Once more, per Politico, we may find ourselves on the brink of a government shut down. Various issues have triggered this fanfare in the past. This time, the wedge issue is DREAMers. House conservatives have warned Speaker Paul Ryan against lumping a fix for undocumented immigrants who came to the country as minors into a year-end spending deal. Conservatives aren’t the only ones holding up proceedings, however. Many liberals have also pledged not to support a bill that doesn’t address the DREAMer issue. While no one wants to take the blame for a shut down, no one wants to upset their grassroots base, either.Dare to DREAM? Congress Shouldn’t Let Dreamers Shut Down Budget

Nothing is really Caesar’s
In our local newspaper there was a recent article about the health-insurance debate — who must cover certain things and who can opt out. One remark stuck out to me. Someone complained that by not paying for certain services, employers would be “imposing their religious beliefs” on their employees. Now that may be true, and it may be problematic, but what bothers me about the statement is its complete lack of self-awareness. Religion, for this person, is something that only other people do. Those people. It doesn’t occur to her that her beliefs might be considered religious, or that she might be imposing her beliefs on someone else. Calling something religious is a way to separate oneself from other people, a way to excuse oneself form the responsibility of conversation.

Are Women Really Victims? Four Women Weigh In
Women can be victims. In this world, there are violent, exploitative people willing to use and abuse their fellow human beings. Sometimes those human beings are women and sometimes they are abused and sexually exploited by powerful men because they are women. But women are not a class of victims.

All of us go to the movies to feel something: to laugh, to cry, to be frightened, to be thrilled, to lose ourselves in a story. And that experience might feel just the littlest bit richer in a place with a story of its own, a place that holds some history.
